Description
Sceptical fan' Brian Tuohy believes that the hugely profitable sports leagues have covered up the truth behind their operations. His research has shown that professional sports are not all about fair play but are in fact filled with corruption. Covering the last 20 years, Tuohy's evidence includes FBI files as definitive proof that game fixing is a huge part of sports betting.'
Author Bio
Brian Tuohy is considered to be Americas leading expert on game fixing in sports. While Larceny Games discusses game fixing from a sports gambling aspect, his previous book The Fix Is In: The Showbiz Manipulations of the NFL, MLB, NBA, NHL, and NASCAR examined how the professional leagues influence the outcome of their own games for TV ratings and profit. He has appeared as a guest on over 100 radio programs throughout the United States and Canada and has spoken at Florida State University, Columbia College in Chicago, and at the 2012 AEJMC National Conference.
